No. The mounting of the calipers is different.

Dunno - but spending some time with an on-line parts listing comparing PN's might be productive.

Fatandre, not sure how immediate your need is, but in 6-8 weeks, I'll have the complete caliper, rotor, and pads setup from my 2009 Turbo S for sale as I'm replacing them with a set of PCCBs. 28,000 miles on the vehicle and a Southern car its entire life. Fronts are the 380mm rotors.

Why would you want to do that when there are several very large brake kits available?

You mean why change to PCCBs? Simply put, they're wonderful. I have them on my 997. They make virtually zero dust, have incredible stopping power even on a 6,000 lb vehicle like the Cayenne, never fade, don't rust, and the rotors last essentially the life of the vehicle if the pads are renewed when they reach 50%. Anyone who has never had PCCBs on one of their Porsches doesn't understand how great they are, and anyone who has had them, doesn't want to compromise and have anything else.

This is the set I bought that I'll be installing in 4-6 weeks once I get the car back from the widebody conversion

These brakes are fantastic.
I have found a source that will get me caliper pistons, along with seals.
I have also ordered new discs and pads so it should be all good

Sounds like a reasonable explanation, I just dont understand the outlay of cash when it comes to performance per dollar.

I bought the complete PCCB setup for $10k. f I can sell my complete current setup for about $3,500 and front steel rotors are about $1,400 / pair and the PCCB rotors last the life fo the car (which they should), I'm only upside down a few thousand after about 100,000 miles. To have no dust, exceptional braking performance, and not deal with rotor rust, that's not too bad a deal in my mind, which is why I went ahead with it. Now to buy that setup from Suncoast for $23k, I agree with you - doesn't make sense and it's better to find a Cayenne thathas them already installed., but I couldn't find one equipped like I wanted it in the colors I needed it to be with PCCBs.
